Do you get about 4 MPG less during winter ?

After driving Yaris for just over a year I found the 4MPG difference between summer and winter quite interesting.
The thing is I live in Portland, OR and winters are very mild here, we may have 2 days in winter when temperature during a day drops bellow freezing the rest of winter we stay in 40's.
So driving in summer months I average 39MPG and driving in winter I get 35-36MPG. I only drive commuting to work = 100% heavy city traffic, no highways. I do not use A/C.
I bought 2008 Yaris LB manual in March 2008 and have been driving it since.
I have 13000 miles on it.
Is anyone experiencing the same difference between summer and winter MPG ? Would it be the cold winter starts in the morning ? Any ideas ?

Just curious
